Although i agree that giving penalty and offender to the WH verbally and in the middle of the field is better, i disagree that throwing the flag to the side of the offender is "lazy". On my crews, we throw the flags in a manner that each official on the field knows which team is the offender on the play (in the officials view). The technique is not usually picked up by any coaches because its suttle and the flag is not thrown in any direction. Just dropped on a side. At that time, the WH, and all other officials know who feels what. If there is a discrepancy, all officials know it and and the linesman will speak with the WH about it. If all the same, we come together to agree on a number.
